Meet A Chirp Reader: Banig Story

Hey readers,

Did you read the story The Banig Festival that was in the March issue? Chirp reader Sophie sent us her own banig story and some photos, too. Check it out!

This is Sophie laying on her Lola’s (grandmother in Filipino) real-life banig! Wow, look at all those amazing colours! It looks just like the ones in the story.

When she was a kid, Sophie’s Lola used to sleep on her banig under a mosquito net. After reading the story, she let Sophie have a try! How fun!

Thank you so much for sharing with us, Sophie! We loved seeing your pictures and hearing your family’s special banig story.

Have a great day,
